I'm seeing a lot of people upset because ground is offering an opportunity to people. A ground business owner can run a solid business and grow it to the point where they can make a good income and not have to drive a route. Then expand it more and sell their routes and retire. Small business ownership that has pay off after hard work isn't something to frown upon.
FedEx ground offered them this opportunity and they took it, invested, and grew it. Just because you don't have this option with express doesn't mean you should be getting on bbsam or any ground contractor. I'll tell you what, there are worse jobs than delivering for ground. Not to mention you stay within the business for a while you can move up and buy out the person who owns the business, or the business next to you. Happens all the time. Maybe you get paid less, but you have different opportunities for growth and investment.
It's like buying stock with a dividend or one with out. Different strategy, different ways of getting payout.
Save the bulls-hit for the pep talk you give your contractors nobody here buys it. I guess the people actually doing the work deserve nothing for their hard work and dedication right?
